Enthusiasm tends to be contagious and if I had to pick a word to describe the Spiceworks community, enthusiastic just might be my word of choice, though I’m sure I could think of quite a few others – dedicated, honest, involved, to name a few. In any case, I’ve got to say I’ve caught onto this excitement and am really looking forward to the opportunity to participate on this site as a guest blogger over the next few months.

On my Microsoft blog, I post regularly about issues pertinent to small- and mid-sized business (SMB) decision-makers. Some posts are more technology-focused, covering topics like customer relationship management software, others are more broadly focused on business itself, like this post, where I called out Spiceworks’ community, and others have a little bit of business and technology incorporated, covering topics like remote working and cybercrime.

I’ve got lots of ideas for topics we can discuss on my guest posts here, but before I get to typing, I want to make sure they align with what you want to hear about. So this is a call for suggestions/requests – in the comments section, please share your thoughts on what you’d like my blog posts to address. I look forward to the dialogues to come!

How can we more tightly integrate Microsoft products with Spiceworks ( Inventory Data, Reporting, Plugins, Knowledge, etc ). Very excited by the way that Microsoft is jumping in here! This Community is snowballing ( starting to pop up more an more in my Web Searches ) so your reach to SMBs should increase!

As an IT professional who works for a non-profit, Spiceworks has made my job so much easier. We have yearly audits concerning Accounting and IT. Putting together data inventory had been an all day job or more and now I can run reports and have the information printed out and put in a binder for the auditor in a short time. Microsoft has been kind to non-profit and look forward to hearing suggestions, advice and recommendations.
